Engineered Without Compromise.

The HILS HZ8 is a precision-built multiscale 8-string designed for players who demand more from their instrument—more range, more stability and more control. From the fanned-fret geometry to the headless architecture, every decision serves a single purpose: giving serious players a tool that keeps up with their most demanding musical ideas.

The HZ8 opens with a 26.5" to 28" multiscale configuration—a fan spread that delivers focused, articulate low-end response on the seventh and eighth strings without sacrificing playability on the high register. Paired with a flat 16" fretboard radius and 24 medium jumbo stainless-steel frets, it's as comfortable executing sweeping leads as it is grinding through low-tuned riffs.

The 5-piece roasted maple and walnut neck is the backbone of the instrument—roasting stabilises the maple against humidity and temperature fluctuation, while alternating walnut laminates add rigidity and long-term resistance to warping. An Indonesian mahogany body in satin black keeps the voice warm and focused, while the headless design eliminates neck dive and improves overall balance.

Two custom passive rail humbuckers deliver tight, defined output across the full range of the instrument, with a 500K volume control, push/pull 500K tone control for coil-splitting versatility and a straightforward 3-way selector. The 8-string locking headpiece and lightweight aluminium alloy hardtail bridge keep the HZ8 in tune under heavy playing, and it ships with D'Addario EXL120-8 strings (.009"–.065") and the HGB-Z deluxe gig bag.
